The scaffolding and elevator hoist were an integral part of the work all year. Operation on the building was begun in the Spring of 1936 and finished during this last April.

In February they elected their first oflicers, Bailey, Pres- ident, Baxter, Vice-President, Marcus, Sec- retary, and Hayes, Treasurer. The next year was spent instructing First Formers in the game of chestnuts. There were now fifty-one members of the Class. Tom Van Raalte was President, Kaufman Vice-President, Baxter Secretary and Marcus Treasurer. The Third Form found the same officers, but the ranks had now swelled to seventy-eight. Kaufman, Hayes and Sweet became members of the Record. Sachs and Yampolsky joined the Library Committee. In the Fourth Form. Al Lewis distin- guished himself in Jayvee Football and Jack Brown in swimming. Johnny Mayer and Frank Schiff made a light but formid- able tennis doubles. The Morrey Scholar- ship was awarded to Herbert Bailey. Lewis became President, Kaufman Vice-President, Brown Secretary and Bailey Treasurer. The Class Adviser was Mr. Bailey.
